Signing UpStep 1Position and tape down your foam on to the heatpump.
I insulated the section that felt cool to the touch when running, cause it meant that I was cooling something that was being heated by the sun.
most old heat-pumps are in the shape of a box with a round fan molded to the end of it. We are going to insulate the box part.
tape your foam to the surfaces that feel cool to the touch, or if you have had the panels off, put your foam on the surfaces that cover the air handler.
I deconstructed an old foam drink cooler for my insulation panels.anything from 1-3" thick will work.
